Dark Desperation

Desperation, overwhelming the only sound is weeping, weeping, weeping Dark shadows o’er taking, suffocating feel it looming, looming, looming Tired and broken losing the battle tire, tired eyes seeping, seeping, seeping Tears, soft and hot down saddened cheeks slide onto heaving breasts, heart booming, booming, booming Remembering warmth security a myth for now there is only sleeping, sleeping, sleeping and weeping, weeping, weeping.

These are feelings to which I can relate, Trudy. When I'm "losing the battle," it sometimes help to write. I hate to think of you feeling so down. Please feel free to write to me anytime. I'm going to Soup Mail my email address to you. Today would have been my late Dad's birthday and I have just moved into his house. Memories are surrounding me. Sometimes it helps to share with a friend. Love, Carolyn
